Erica Rae

When I was going into 7th Grade in 1998 I got the news that I was going to be an Aunt for the first time!
I was really excited and on March 16th Erica Rae was born! She's 12 now, and headed into 7th grade herself, it's so weird to be at the stage where she's the same age I was when she was born.
Today's her first day of Middle School!
She sent me the top picture last week to show me what she was going to wear for her school pictures; and I stole the bottom one off her Mom's Facebook - it's her getting ready to go! She's getting so grown up!! And she's probably going to be completely embarrassed that her Auntie blabbed like this on her blog, but really, I'm proud of her!
I hope you had a fantastic first day of Middle School Erica! I love you!

Also, I looked at my post of this very same thing last year... CHECK OUT HOW DIFFERENT SHE LOOKS!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
